Molly Two Things Can Be True

Molly is heading to sleepaway camp — and her heart is full of big feelings.

 

She’s excited. She’s nervous. She misses home before she even leaves.

 

And then she discovers something that changes everything:Two things can be true at the same time.

 

Molly Two Things Can Be True: A Sleepaway Camp Adventure is the newest book in the beloved Be Like Molly series — a longer, richer story written for early chapter book readers ready to grow with Molly. Through campfire nights, Color War, letters home, and new friendships, Molly learns that a homesick heart can still make room for the best summer ever.

 

A story for every child who has ever felt two things at once — and every grown-up who remembers what that felt like.

Molly Three
    Can Be Tricky

With kind words, a little help from the grown-ups, and cookies to share, the friends learn how to make space for everyone and try again together.

Meet the Author

I'm Shari Harpaz

Children Book Author | Speech Language Pathologist | Speaker

I’m Shari Harpaz—a mom, a children’s book author, and a speech-language pathologist with over 25 years of experience helping children find their voices. I know what it’s like to watch a child wrestle with big feelings and not have the words to express them. I’ve seen it in my therapy rooms.

 

I’ve lived it in my own home. That’s why I created the Be Like Molly series—to help children understand their emotions, express themselves clearly, and respond with courage and compassion. At the heart of every story is a simple, powerful compass: Be Brave. Be Kind. Those aren’t just words they’re life skills. Through my books and school visits, I help children and the grown-ups who guide them build emotional vocabulary, resilience, and empathy in ways that last. Because every child deserves to be heard, understood, and empowered to grow.
